World missions has its foundation in Jesus’ command to His disciples to go into all the world and “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).
God does not show partiality to one race or nation above another (Acts 10:34–35). The Bible says that, without Christ, we are all in the same spiritual condition: all have fallen short of God’s glory and are under Adam’s curse. Everyone—every race, every person, every nationality—needs to hear the gospel. Everyone needs the righteousness of God that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. “How . . . can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?” (Romans 10:14–15). The offer of grace is extended to all; God cares about all people equally.
We should pursue world missions because God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4).
Small-Group Mission Trips We've Taken
Short-term mission trips
We are committed to providing opportunities for worldwide short-term mission trips. Each trip is individually built to first and foremost serve God, and then serve both the volunteer, and the ones being served.
Some of the benefits of going on a short-term mission trip with us are:
-
You are able to serve the Lord, edify the church, and gain missionary exposure and experience
-
Come along side full time missionaries in a helpful way; assisting them in their long term work
-
Have the opportunity to experience how 80% of the world lives
-
Open yourself up to the possibility to go into full time missions
-
Have your world view expanded and catch a vision to support missionaries with prayer and financial support
Our ultimate goal is to honor and glorify God by partnering with His missionaries all over the world and join them in advancing His kingdom.
We encourage personal sacrifice in paying for the trip but also look for local church involvement through prayer, financial giving and fundraising. If you are interested in going on a short-term mission trip with us please contact Stephanie May, our mission trip coordinator or get more information below.
